Today the Press and Journal revealed you could buy a private Island off the coast of Orkney complete with cottage ruins and 27 acres for pasture and grazing purposes.
However, a private island may not be how everyone would choose to spend £600,000. Whatever your fancy, here’s seven ways to spend £600,000 if an island isn’t to your tastes.
1) Buy four pre-owned Aston Martins
Used Rapid S Aston Martins are going for £112,950. Why not buy four for £546,750 and see if you can put them to good use?
2) Book a five-year, seven-month stay at the Macleod House and Lodge at Trump International Golf Links
At the time of calculation, one night in the MacLeod House and Lodge costs £295. If you had £600,000 however, you could stay there for five years and seven months… depending on availability of course.
3) Invest in 316 pairs of Jimmy Choo shoes
These “Kendall” Jimmy Choo heels are currently on sale for £1895. Buy 316 of them and see if you can make a profit selling them on Ebay.
4) Purchase 521,739 500ml bottles of Irn Bru
Irn Bru is a staple in many Scots’ diets and so it makes sense to stock up on a lifetime’s supply of it. 521,379 bottles will keep your family in check for a good few years.
5) Relocate to this house in Ullapool that comes with its very own private beach
This house with a private beach is currently accepting offers over £600,000. Something to think about if your offer for the island isn’t accepted.
6) Treat yourself to 11 Rolex watches
Priced at just over £50,000 from Iconic Watches, you might as well buy a batch. They’ll come in handy should ever need a spare.
7) Have tour next holiday in this Prestige 500 yacht
With this luxury yacht the water’s you oyster. The Prestige 500 has spacious living quarters and its roof is perfect for sunbathing cruises.
